I was wondering if it is still worth using EC2 with Primecoin at the given difficulty.

As has been stated probably a thousand times by now, it's luck.
If you want more chances in a game of luck, get more chances in a game of luck.

Which? There's not "1" EC2. The free one is ~40-50. The paid ones are higher, obviously. |

seems to settle around 2000-2100 PPS on a 4 core, "8 ECU", m1.xlarge using mikaelh hp4.
hp5 is now available, but I don't have data on that.

m3.2xlarge --
~/primecoin-0.1.1-hp4/src$ ./primecoind getmininginfo
{
"blocks" : 63588,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"primespersec" : 3899,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false
}
definitely not worth it.

As a general rule, something might be profitable for a few days on EC2. That was the case with YAC in the initial days.
After that, people are going to spin up 10,000 instances and drive up the difficulty to the point where it is no longer viable
